Eshi explained that he read the lists at Nnon and Nkwerre Council of Chiefs fora, recently while some Villages who do not have access to these fora sent him hard copies at his Palace.

“Let the needy in our respective villages benefit from the rich in this perilous time”, he pleaded.

“Covid 19 and indeed any Virus will not consume any of us in the most Powerful Name of Jesus. Amen”.
